No amount of effort on the part of the grower 
will overcome the handicap of poor celery seed.

Hardy as a Scotch 
Highlander 
(Continued from page 16) 
It is a pretty well established fact that high 
altitude grown seeds are the hardiest obtaina¬ 
ble. We are situated at an altitude of 4,200 
feet, and some of our farms as much as 6,800 
feet. The nights are cool and, due to the thin atmosphere, days often 
become very warm. The extremes of temperature have a great deal 
of effect upon inherent hardiness of the seed. This is easily illustrated 
in alfalfa: southern grown alfalfa seed sown here produces plants 
which winter kill, while native and northern grown alfalfa seed pro¬ 
duces plants that are hardy and will live for many years. 
Effect of Altitude 
on Earliness 
There is also a natural selection for earliness. 
For instance: Iowa Silvermine Corn from 
Iowa planted in the Rocky Ford district will 
not mature the entire crop the first year of an 
ordinary growing season. Tests have shown that this variety grown 
here for several generations matures about two weeks earlier. The 
same applies more or less to vegetables.
